Missing conversations sidebar in Messages (OS X 10.9)

Since upgrading to Mavericks I no longer have my conversations sidebar in Messages. Previously (since Mountain Lion?) there has always been a sidebar with my previous conversations on the left hand side. Even when I have tried to hide it the best I could do was shrink it down to contact icons. I can bring up a 'Buddy List' which I believe is just Bonjour buddies, but no record of active conversations. Any idea what has happened? Is it just another new release bug?

Just some notes on this issue.
This window can be created in a normally functioning Messages.
If you have a Side Bar and double click on of the Chats it will open in a separate window minus the side bar and "To" spot.
The main (normal) Messages window can now be closed.
The Chat can be continued in the signle Chat window.
If you unhide the Messages window (Window Menu > Messages or CMD +0) then you will see the chat was also continued there.
This suggests that this is a Windowing Issue.
Try the Window Menu > Messages item or the keystroke to redisplay the window (I am not expecting it to work as it has not in other threads but it might be what you have done.)
The window information is held in com.apple.ichat.plist
In the Finder > Go Menu Hold down the ALT key and Select the Library that appears.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find the listed .plist (don't worry about the others that contain com.apple.ichat.*.plist or the Lockfile)
Drag it to the Trash (if you have made load od changes to the Preferences setting of Messages take it to the Desk top)
Deleting or moving it and restarting Messages will recreate the file from defaults
This means anything you changed in the Preferences will have been returned to defaults
(No Saving of Chats, Font, Balloon/Background colour, Font, Menu Bar icon and so on.)
Hopefully this will solve it but other threads still seem to have an issue.
The other option is the Application's Saved State.
This is in the ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.iChat.savedState
Remove the contents of this folder.
Restart the App.

LG Revolution missing half of text messages

When I get multiple SMS messages on my phone everytime I look at the conversation in the messaging app the first half of the message is always missing. This occurs everytime I drag the message notification down. If I drag up to just unlock my phone occasionally I can go to the message app and the entire message will be there. It's a 50/50 crap shoot on that one. It really makes conversations tough when my reply is always.. "can you resend the first part again?"
Resending the message doesn't get me the first half of the message still. Only the 2nd piece I had already received. I did a little reading and the messages im receieving are most likely over the 160 character limit which would break it into 2. It's coming from T-mobile.

Hi hkell:
I can understand why you're frustrated with the problems that you've listed. There are a few suggestions I can think of to ensure your issue is resolved. For the texting problem, are you using any 3rd party messaging applications? If so, please remove them and retest using the stock messaging application. If your device is resetting intermittently, I would recommend performing a factory reset on your Revolution. This will rule out any issues potentially caused by 3rd party applications.
You can also ensure that your software is up to date. You can check the current version of software here and see if your software is up to date.
If neither of those has helped in resolving your concern, please feel free to send me a DM. I've followed you to ensure this is possible. We also have a Warranty Center (Tech Support) line that can reached at 866-406-5154 for troubleshooting.

Messages are not synced on imac and macbook -- missing a month of messages

I have used Messages on an iMac at home, and a Macbook Pro on travel, both of them using OS 10.8.4. The Messages/Preferences/Acclounts window shows that both computers are using the same settings. During travel last month I added several Messages accounts, using the Macbook. These do not now show up on the iMac. The imac shows 4 of these accounts, and when I now put a message on one of these, with either mac, it shows up on both macs just fine. But I am missing a month of messages that were sent on the macbook that do not show up on the imac, and I have 5 accounts that were added to the macbook Messages that do not appear on the imac Messages. How can I sync everything?

HI,
This is a pic of my Window Menu in drop down and the Preferences opened at the Accounts pane.
I have highlighted the most well known Account of my AIM Screen Name.
As you can see the list here on the left has a Scroll Bar and I am not displaying all the 10 Accounts shown in the in the Window Menu.
The Window Menu will show them as a combined list by default, due to the setting in the General Pane of the Preferences.
The Messages Menu itself > Accounts will also show the number of Accounts that are Logged in
By Default (without you ever having started up Messages) it will two accounts.
These will be the iMessages account (Minus any Apple ID) and the Bonjour account that is normally Disabled by default (it is only any use when two or more Macs are on the same LAN and have the Bonjour Account Enabled).
If I untick the "Enable this Account" Box for some of the accounts I can get down to 3 Buddy List type accounts listed in the Window Menu and the Main Messages Window.
You may notice from the first pic that the Description field in the Preferences (Main AIM) is the name in the list in the Window Menu and at the bottom left in the Main Messages window.
Sync
In terms of iMessages this means "Display on all Devices".
It does not mean mark as read on all devices or deal with as if dealt with on another device.
iMessages and Chats that might be Saved.
The application will Save Chats and iMessages if set to do so in the Messages Pane of the Preferences.
It will do so when you close the app. If you leave a conversation (iMessages) or a Chat (Instant Messages from Buddies) on display in the Main Messages window over a number of days it is likely that Messages will create a Save of this each day in ~/Library/Messages/Archive/(by date)
Also in this ~/Library/Messages folder is the Chat.db items
This is the bit that hold a running record of the iMessages conversations you have had and tends to be the bit that brings up the "History" if you restart a conversation with a Contact you have already iMessage'd.
Moving corresponding chat.db items from one computer to another may need the Ownership changed.
Go to the ~/Library/Messages folder.
Highlight the chat.db item and then do a Get Info (CMD and i keys together).
This brings up the Info Panel and at the bottom are the Read and Write Privileges
Highlighting th top "person" and then using the Cogwheel type icon should reveal your Shortname in greyed out text if you Own the item.
As I own mine my shortname is greyed out
Of course, using my shortname as an example you may be "ralph" on both computers but you may need to make the Moved file "yours" on this computer.
I only have one Mountain Lion compatible computer and have not tried this to see that it actually works in "moving" chats from one computer to another.

XML tag Main/@versionMajor has incorrect value 000; expected value is 003
as mentioned above @versionMajor is expecting 003 as the input....if it a DataType in XI then check if there is some restriction imposed on the above attribute.....if you are importing some XSD/wsdl then check if it has some restriction.......if the restriction is not needed then try removing it....so that versionMajor will accept all the values

Hi
Can you check this out?
Transaction SXMB_ADM  Integration Engine Configuration
For an application system you have to maintain the role of the business system as an application system. Set the corresponding Integration Server as an HTTP destination (for example, dest://INTEGRATION_SERVER). Create the destination in transaction SM59 and set the type to HTTP Connections to R/3 System. Test the connection by using the Connection Test button; you should get HTTP 500 u2013 Empty HTTP Request received, because no u201Ereal‟ XML document is sent during this test.
A HTTP return code 500 (Internal Server Error) is OK.

Hey colorado65,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
All the best,
Delgadoh

Using the Export to PDF online service, I get "Conversion Failure" error message; why?

Using the Export to PDF online service, I get "Conversion Failure" error message; why?
The documen t was originally created with Word (*.doc) then printed to PDF format; now I need to convert back to Work, but I get the "Conversion Failure" error message, both on conversion back to *.Doc format and attempt to convert to *.docx format.

Hi lfordlaw,
How large is the PDF that you're trying to convert? How did you generate the PDF from Word (did you use Acrobat, or Word's built-in PDF generator)? What version of Word are you using?
The answers to those questions should help us get to the bottom of things.
In the meantime, please try the following:
Clear the browser cache and log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Try a different web browser (see System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services for a list of supported browsers).
Try to convert a different file (if you can convert another file without error, the one you're receiving the error on may be damaged).
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Revenue recognition and error message" Missing data: Provision account Message no. VU019

Hi,
I have configured revenue recognition type "B" for my item categories and I am using BOMs where pricing is set at item level. The issue is that when I have more than one components in my BOM then I get an error message (Missing data: Provision account Message no. VU019) at the time of saving sales order though I have configured the provision account. However If I enter the same component/material in the sales order without BOM which will have same pricing data then it does not through the above error message. Please help what could be the potential issue.
Best Regards
Javed

Have you checked the Analysis from condition tab once you created a BOM? If so, what is the message you could see for pricing.

Lync 2013 Missed Conversations pane not showing all items

On Outlook I moved the missed call notifications out of my Inbox to the Conversation History folder.
I then changed the custom search criteria for the "Missed Call" and "Missed Conversation" search folders to include the Conversation History Folder as well as the Inbox. So I still see all missed calls.
However, On Lync, under Conversations, in the missed conversations pane, I end up "losing" the missed calls moved to the conversation history folder and only see the calls in the Inbox. Those other missed class end up in the Calls
folder.
Is the only way to have all missed calls show up as missed in Lync, is by leaving them in the Inbox?
